What is Dump Cake?

If you have never heard of dump cake before, you may be a bit turned off by the name. While the name of this dessert is a bit off-putting, I promise the end result will make you happy you gave it a try.

Dump cake gets its name because all you have to do to make it is “dump” the ingredients into a pan. That means this dessert is not only extremely easy, it also uses just a few simple ingredients.

Spoon the pie filling into the pan to create red and blue stripes at the bottom of the cake. Then, pour the dry cake mix over the top of the fruit.

Top with cake mix and melted butter. Do NOT stir or mix!

Top with shredded coconut, and bake until golden brown.
